It could be a while, because I'm not writing for the next few months because I have a school degree to finish in June and need to work on that, and afterwards I have another story prepared to be written, but after the Summer, it is very likely that I will be looking for new ideas and this one certainly sounds very intriguing!

This thread is wonderful. I got the idea for my current crossover from here, and I think some other stories were picked up from here as well in the past.

I've often written stories just on the back of an idea posted in the Mill. (Penny!! )
Love stories told in letters is one of my favourite themes. Great idea, kaybell!

Thank you, merry! I am still so excited that I have found you all on here to actually discuss N&S.
I also LOVE when M&J talk through letters. It’s kind of a taboo “alone time” that they are able to get without society knowing, or judging. There’s also something slightly scandalous about it, which I’m a fan of.
I just recently read a fic in which they wrote letters back and forth. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Today at work I thought about our RH watching party and in my mind came a new story idea - N&S and RH crossover. So the idea is that John and Guy are twin brothers. They met Margaret, but not together. So Margaret doesn't know the fact that they're brothers. John falling in love with her, of course, but Guy is obsessed with her and wants to possess her (or doing what he was doing with Marian in RH), but he is gentle and kind with her so she hasn't any suspicion about his true intentions. She likes Guy, but he pretends to be John, not himself to get Margaret to fall for him. She is so enchanted by Guy that she starts falling in love with him. John is heartbroken, angry and jealous and is trying to do anything to make Margaret see who is who and what Guy in truth wants to do with her. Well, something like this. I don't know. It's just that there's no one N&S and RH crossover story but I wish there would. So if anyone is interested in writing this then do it!

I just had this very dark idea for a story (topics : suicide) please don't kill me
So the story started with classic "Outwood station caused me to marry Mr. Thornton" trope, but it gets complicated because Mrs. Thornton keep insulting Margaret, Fanny who lamented that she would prefer Ann Latimer as a sister-in-law, even John who keeps misunderstanding Margaret, and few other problems.
Margaret, out of hopelessness and revenge to John, decided to *did what the late Mr. Thornton did*
This would be a dream/hallucination but it felt too real. I wonder if I should really make it considering thinking about this alone already made me sad

I've had a couple of ideas as not to make the story even sadder than it should be. I want to touch on a topic of how we respond to our emotions, managing life pressure, which I think kind of relevant to John and Margaret, as they think and react differently. When you feel the whole world is against you, you could feel hopeless and feel that there's no way out, which is in Margaret's case

First post here.
I am not a writer but I have had this idea stuck in my head for awhile. I would love for someone to pick it up.
- takes place sometime after Margret leaves Milton.
- do to financial circumstances Margret marries Mr. Bell
- Mr. Bell wants an heir but is too old to get it up - offers Thornton enough money to save the mill in exchange for him fathering child with Margaret that Mr. Bell will claim as his own.
- Margret still doesn't like Mr. Thornton but accepts the arraignment because she wants a child.
- they don't get pregnant on the first try so there are plenty of months for opportunity for some plot and more smut.
- maybe a jealous Margret because Mr. Thornton is courting other women despite their secret arraignment.
- Margret gets pregnant
- Mr. Bell dies, leaves everything to Margret and baby, and the mill to Mr. Thornton
- hea for Margret and John
Any takers?

Oh gosh!! That definitely hasn't been done yet. It's edgy and I LOVE edgy!!! Someone should write it!! First person who comes to mind for this type of fic is Merry! I can see her pulling this off brilliantly. But any other Miller would certainly do a great job as well. Heck, I would even attempt it myself, but I won't be able to do another new fic until the end of the year because I habe a thesis to write and then one more fic on the go. (But if nobody else has picked it up until then, I could see myself trying it, no promises that I could pull it off though).Dorkomatic wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 1:47 am First post here.

Reading your idea I remembered two stories which was similar to this, but without pregnancy thing. Well, sounds good and I would love to read although I don't like that Margaret would marry Mr. Bell, but it gives some drama and intrigue to this story. So that's why I would enjoy it. And I would love to try to write it, but unfortunately, I'm busy with my book writing. I agree with Tom that Merry would write this. She would do it perferct, but also Tom would make this great. I hope there will be someone who will take this and write. Fingers crossed!

Thank you, Fossy and Tom, for the vote
I do like to write a story with a bit of edge it's true (and a lot of soppy romantic stuff as well) - I'll definitely have a think about this one and hope that others do too.
It's lovely we have so many ideas in here. No-one ever need go short of a prompt if they get stuck for a kicking-off point!
Great idea, Dorkomatic and welcome to the Mill! so great to see you here
